Original application filed Oct ber 29, 1324, Serial No. 746,658.

To all 10. mm 2' may come m:

Be it known that I, LEPLKE Darin, a citizen of the United States, residing in St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented an Improvement in Heating Stoves, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a spccification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention relates to stoves of the type that are supported on legs or base frames, and more particularly to improvements in base frame and leg connections for domestic stoves.

The invention aims both to improve the construction of stove legs and the connection of the leg tothe stove base and to enhance the general appearance of the stove, The invention further aims to economize in the time and cost of production of the parts, and to increase the strength and rigidity of the assembled stove.

Further aims and advantages of the invention appear in connection with the description or the construction shown in the accompanying drawing, illustrating one embodiment of my invention; wherein- Fig. 1 is a halt front elevation and half cross section of the lower part of a stove, showing the details of construction of the le s and base;

Fig. 2 is a similar half side view and half cross section; and

Fig. 3 is a detail view of the improved manner of attaching the legs to the base.

The present application is a division of my application for heating stoves, filed October 29, 1924, Serial No. 746,658, and although the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings illustrates the invention associated with elements of a heat iug stove of the hot air type, it is to be distinctly understood that my invention is not restricted to use with stoves of that type but is capable and intended for use on stoves of any other type.

My invention is particularly useful in con nection with heating stoves and ranges which are metal plated, enameled or otherwise finished to produce a highly ornamental and pleasing appearance. More particularly my invention aims to improve the appearance of the stove at the point of connection of the legs to the base.

Divided and this application filed June 6,

Serial No. 35,429.

Hcretofore in the construction of plated and e lameled stoves, it has been c tomary to enamel the lower edge of the has jar-lie or other part which supported by the legs and is subject to view. It is dillienlt to enamel the lower bottom edge of such p.211. and even when properly enameled, the coab mg or finish is very liable to become l aged during packing and shipment, resulting in an unsightly connection at that point when the stove is assembled for use.

In the embodiment shown in the drawings my invention is shown applied to a stove including a bottom pan 10 of the ash pit 11. As shown, the bottom pan 10 is dished and formed with a horizontal flange 12 on the four sides thereof, the outer edges of which are formed with short perpendicular flanges 13 extending above and below the plane oi the flange 1-2. When the invention is applied to a heating stove of the type illustrated in the parent application above referred to, the lower edges of the side jacket J are held and confined within the upwardly extending portions of the flanges 13.

According to my invention the supporting legs 14 may be of any desired shape or design, and are preferably provided with a horizontal lug or ear 15, upon which the bottom pan, base, or other part rests at its four corners only. Although my invention is advantageous and desirable in connection with stoves having rectangular or polygonal bases, the invention is also adaptable to bases of other shapes. The legs may be secured to the bottom pan, base or other part in any approved manner, as by bolts.

The legs are formed with an upwardly extending lap or skirt 16 which overlaps and covers the lower edge of the pan, base or other part supported by it. The usual base skirting 17 is suitably secured to the legs, and is preferably formed with a similar lap or skirt 18 to cover and conceal the lower edge of the pan, base or similar part.

part tobesupported' by the base, are properly coated or finished, as this edge will be adequately covered and concealed by the laps or skirts of my leg and base skirting. ,7

Advantages of my inventionare in the economies of moldlng, finlshmg, packlng and sand blastmg as well asln enhancing the general appearance of the assembled stove.

"Myinvention is not restricted to the details of Construction shown and described.

I claim 1. In a stove, an ash pit and pan, a jacket surrounding said ash pit, and supported by the pan, and legs for supporting the stove above the floor and engaging the pan only at the corners, said legs having an upper skirtlug to overlap and cover the edge of the ash iit and'the lower edge of the jacket.

. 2.111 a stove, a heating unit including; an ash pithaving a substantially rectangular bottom pan, a jacket surrounding said heating unit and supported upon said bottom 7 pain. legs supporting the stove above the I V floor and supporting the ash pan only at the corners thereof, an upwardly projecting skirt formed on said legs to overlap and having a connecting skirting and stove bot- 1.0111 engaging portions for supporting the stove including inwardly extending flanges engaging the stove bottom at spaced points for supporting purposes and upwardly extending continuous flanges for coveringthe lower edge of the jacket.

4:. A supporting leg for stoves andthe like for protecting from view the uncoatedbot tom edges of a heating unit having an exterior jacket, said leg being of suitable shape and coated or otherwise suitably finished on its outer face to present a pleasing appearance, an inwardly extending shelf near the upper end of'said leg for supporting the stove, and an upwardly extending marginal skirting extending above the plane of the shelf and above the bottom unfinished edges ot the heatingunit-and jacket. 7

5. In astove, an outer casing, a bottom r pan, and a supporting frame comprising spaced legs and connecting skirt members with thelr top edges coextensive, each leg having an inwardly extending bracket or shelf-portion spaced below its top edge;

forming a supporting ledgecfor the outer edge of said bottom pan, andsaid outer casing having an inwardly and downwardly extending lower edge adapted to extendbe hind the top edges'of said. legs and skirt members and rest upon the outer edge of said bottom pan, whereby the lower. edge of said casing is concealed by the top edges of said legs and skirt members.

In testimony whereof, I have signed name to this specification.

LESLIE DANA.
